Apex Code - moving a list outside a for loop in trigger

I need to make the following piece of code work (within a trigger) for mass case updates. It works fine for when one case is updated but I know that the List<Account>.. within the for loop gives a too many soql queries message when I am mass updating. How do I move this outside the for loop but still be able to get hold of the relevant field from the associated account I want to update the case with? (I appreciate this is probably a basic thing but this is my first foray into "bulkifying").

} else if (Trigger.isUpdate && Trigger.isBefore) {
       
        List<Case> updatedCases = Trigger.New;
        Map<Id,Case> oldMap = Trigger.oldMap;      
       
        Set<Id> machineIdSet = new Set<Id>();
       
        for(Case updatedCase: updatedCases)
        {          
            if(updatedCase.AssetId != null)
            {
                machineIdSet.add(updatedCase.AssetId);
            }

            if(updatedCase.ClosedDate == null)
            {
                if(updatedCase.AccountId != null)
                {
                    List<Account> Account = [SELECT id,Country__c, Region__c, Distributor__r.Name, US__c FROM Account WHERE id = :updatedCase.AccountId];
                    for(Account ac : Account)
                    {
                        if (updatedCase.Account_Country__c <> ac.Country__c)
                        {
                           updatedCase.Account_Country__c = ac.Country__c;
                        }

                    }
                }
